“My first day in London, I was excited to visit this city but in the same time, I was beside myself with worry because I didn’t know what to expect. Finally, I was over the moon because, for example, compared to France and especially Paris, the people are very helpful and very nice. But sometimes I find that London and England are strange places: they drive at the left of the road, they have Euros….But, in the whole, I think that it’s a nice city with welcoming people.” – Morane, France
“When I arrived in London, I was over the moon, because it’s a great experience for me. As I arrived very early I took the tube to school, so I felt out of depth on this trip. When people talked to me I was like a fish out of water! But in the second day, I was in seventh heaven because I began to understand a lot. Now, when I think about next Sunday when I’ll return to my country, I feel a little blue.”- Grace, Argentina
“I arrived three days ago, and I felt like a fish out of water. Today, after 72 hours, I’m feeling the same. I hope at the end of my English course, to be in seventh heaven after all my improvement!” – Max, Italy
“When I arrived in London last week, I was over the moon- it had been such a long time since I wanted to come back here- I jumped for joy when I saw Big Ben, the black taxis and the red double decker buses. All my memories came back, and I thought,’How lucky am I to be here, to be able to enjoy life and visit this wonderful town!’ I love to be here and wish I could live here…but for the moment, I’ll enjoy it and take the best of it!” – Virginie, France
“When I came to London on my first day, I felt like a fish out of water. I was confused of a lot of traffic and overcrowded streets. I was beside myself with worry: what am I doing here? But it changed after I came a second time to London and I know new friends and teachers in the school. Brittany, our “student guide”, show us how this city looks like in reality. I saw a lot of historic monuments and I began to be thrilled to bits about being in this beautiful and exciting city. I fell in love with London. I am very happy here as never before and I am over the moon!

“When I arrived at St Pancras station I was over the moon to be in London, because it was so easy to come with the train from Paris. But I went down to the tube and was like a fish out of water when I tried to take an Oyster Card, because I had to be understood by the ticket officer.” Daphné, France
“When I arrived at airport, I was out of my depth. I waited for immigration about one hour and half, so I thought my driver had already left. After I finished immigration and went out of the exit, I jumped for joy because he was waiting for me! As the school started, I was beside myself with worry, because I felt too shy to make friends. It’s been almost one month here, I’m over the moon! I have so many friends!!
